Seishin Iaido members study the use of the Japanese sword by training
in Seitei Iaido.
Iaido is the art of drawing and cutting, using the traditional Japanese Sword.
Hayashizaki (Jinsuke) Shigenobu is generally credited with establishing the influence and popularity of Iaido early in the sixteenth century. However, around a century before his birth, the dynamic art of iai-jutsu had been developed by Izasa Ianao, the founder of the Tensin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu.
Training times:
Saturdays - 7:30~9:00 AM, for instruction and practice of Seitei Iaido for all students.
Sundays - 8:30~10:30 AM, an additional free practice time, with minimal instruction.
Training location:
1st Kew Scout Hall, Willsmere Rd, (corner of Kellett Grove) Kew, opposite Hyde Park in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne in the state of Victoria,
